Frequent Business Traveler 2014 GlobeRunner Awards

Congrats to the following blogs nomiated for the best points and miles blog in the Frequent Business Traveler 2014 GlobeRunner Awards!

Delta Points

Hack My Trip
Loyalty Lobby
Million Mile Secrets
The Points Guy
The Wandering Aramean

you can cast your vote here - http://www.frequentbusinesstraveler....runner-awards/

On a funny aside, the DeltaPoints blog announced this with a picture of the voting ballot.... photoshopped to remove one of the other nominated blogs. I don't know if its due to denial or sour grapes, but its the funniest censorship I think i've ever seen.

I don't mind having my blog deleted from that altered image but ELEVEN arrows was a little too much

I'm just trying to work out what I did wrong not to be seen as better than some of that list!

Especially as I am leading the Mighty Travels poll at the moment :-)

Just another waste of time.

But if all 100 get their readers to vote then the page views (and ad revenue) for the site hosting the blog goes through the roof.
Brilliant marketing strategy, isn't it??

Obviously. But a bit of fun for me all the same. Let's split the US vote 95 ways!

Raffles reminds me of Soros when he cornered the market with some trade shenanigans involving the Bank of England or something ;-)

On another thought, in the latest voting tally from the Freddies it appears every other human on the Planet Earth voted!
